Rotorcraft model Revell AH-64D Longbow Apache

The Revell AH-64D Longbow Apache model kit in 1:144 scale reproduces the iconic attack helicopter with precise surface detail and movable rotor parts. With a rotor diameter of 10.1 cm and a width of 105 mm when assembled, this kit replicates the Longbow Apache's distinctive silhouette and external equipment, including stub wings, sensors and a mast-mounted sighting system. The kit includes cockpit detailing, engine cowlings, rocket pods and Hellfire missiles to reflect the advanced armament and sensor fit of the AH-64D Longbow Apache.

How to use

Carefully remove parts from sprues and follow the included assembly instructions step by step. Test-fit components before applying adhesive to ensure correct alignment of the rotor, stub wings and weapon pylons. Paint and detail the cockpit, engine cowlings and external sensors prior to final assembly for best results. Use appropriate plastic model cement and modelling tools to secure parts and produce clean joins.

Usage recommendations

For a neat finish, wash parts in warm soapy water to remove mould release agents, use a primer before painting, and allow glue and paint to dry fully between steps. Small parts such as antennas and rockets benefit from tweezers during assembly. Display the completed model on a flat surface away from direct sunlight to preserve colours and glued joints.
